Conceptual directions in the development of life support engineering and technical systems in an urban economy in the field of waste management

The goal is the formation of conceptual foundations for creating an environmentally safe system for handling the valuable resource component of waste with the organization of subsequent recycling in economic circulation (a case study of construction and utility facilities as the main lifesupporting structures of municipalities). The research methodology was based on the use of a set of diverse research methods, factor and expert analysis, prior ranking, SWIFT and PEST analysis, generalization, analogy, classification, and composition. The results of the authors’ research in creating concepts and strategies in the field of waste management and secondary resources are presented. In the process of system analysis of waste management, the dominant factors and ways to enhance its efficiency, resource-saving focus, and environmental safety have been identified. The results obtained indicate the possibility of establishing an effective system for involving the resource component of construction and municipal waste into the economic cycle. The groups of factors, restrictions, scenario conditions, contributing to a successful creation and long-term development of a system of handling secondary resources in the considered industries and sectors of the economy, threats and risks in the process of its formation and functioning were identified; a set of scientific and methodological approaches to their system analysis was presented. The paper proposes the main conceptual directions and tools for the creation and development of a system for handling secondary resources formed as a result of waste-generating activities of construction and utility facilities of the urban economy of municipalities, which provide a solution to the problems of environmental safety of the regions.
